Help with SQL Round

I need to round up my Percentage column in my query below and couldnt quite get the ROUND function right. Right now I am getting:
28.888888800
would like
28.89%
SELECT
a.doctor as Doctor
, a.financialclass AS FinancialClass
, COUNT( a.PatientVisitId ) / CAST( sub.the_count AS DECIMAL( 8 , 2 )) *100 AS Percentage
FROM
#temp a JOIN(
SELECT
doctor
, COUNT( patientvisitid )AS the_count
FROM #temp
GROUP BY
doctor )sub ON a.doctor = sub.doctor
GROUP BY
a.doctor
, a.FinancialClass
, sub.the_count
ORDER BY
Doctor , FinancialClass;

Hi Vishkey,
If you mean that you prefer to do it in the application that get the data from the SQL and not at the SQL query level, then I think it is not black and white. There are pros and cons, for example:
* If we have a lot of data that need to transfer from the SQL to the App I will tr to minimize it and sending the value 22.22 is much less then sending 22.22222222 for example.
* If we need to do some math calculation then I will prefer to pass the whole number to get more acurate. Since we can alway convert 22.22222222 into 22.22 but not vise versa.
* In genaral I agree that if this is a display problem that in most cases I will do it in the app level and not the SQL Query.
Since we are in the T-SQL forum I will go with Naomi solution this time :-)
In Asp.Net forum I would probably go with your solution :-)

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
1234567----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment for bad quality---------44345563------------------A-----------------10.00------------19
7654321----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment from last billing cycle-----23543556-------------------A--------------------50.00--------------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
7654321----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment from last billing cycle-----23543556-------------------A--------------------50.00--------------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,
Nick

Help with a ROUND function

Hi everyone, can someone please help me with a function to use here please. I have a nine digit number e,g (000046650 and 024063870). I would like to convert this to 4 digits before the comma and 5 digits after the comma. So it must be something like this (0000,46650 and 0240,63870). I thought I could easily do this with a ROUND function, but it doesn't work. Could somebody please help by telling me what I'm missing?
Thank you all for your help.

Hi,
I must be missing something, but why don't you just divide by 10000 ?Scott@my11g SQL>with d as (
2 select 000046650 n from dual
3 union all
4 select 024063870 from dual
5 )
6 select n/10000 from d ;
N/10000
4.665
2406.387You can then use a to_char with fmt to format it with zero padding :Scott@my11g SQL>with d as (
2 select 000046650 n from dual
3 union all
4 select 024063870 from dual
5 )
6 select to_char(n/10000,'0000.00000') nn from d ;

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.

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.

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.

Hi Satyaki,
My problem is with SQL and PL/SQL codd. I managed to convert some of my reports and now I'm facing a problem with converted SQL and PL/SQL code. To give you an Idea the following is a sample of a converted report.
Pls have a look. (p.s how can i post formated text)
Thanks,

Help with SQL MODEL Clause

I have the privilege of performing a very tedious task.
We have some home grown regular expressions in our company. I now need to expand these regular expressions.
Samples:
a = 0-3
b = Null, 0, 1
Expression: Meaning
1:5: 1,2,3,4,5
1a: 10, 11, 12, 13
1b: 1, 10, 11
1[2,3]ab: 120, 1200, 1201, ....
It get's even more inetersting because there is a possibility of 1[2,3]a.ab
I have created two base queries to aid me in my quest. I am using the SQL MODEL clause to solve this problem. I pretty confident that I should be able to convert evrything into a range and the use one of the MODEL clause listed below.
My only confusion is how do I INCREMENT dynamically. The INCREMENT seems to be a constant in both a FOR and ITERATE statement. I need to figure a way to increment with .01, .1, etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

m_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] = min_key[0] + ITERATION_NUMBER

Explanation:
Line numbers are based on the assupmtion that "WITH t AS" starts at line 5.
If you need detailed information regarding the MODEL clause please refer to
the Refrence site stated above or read some documentation.
Partition-
Line 18:     PARTITION BY (pt)
               This will make sure that each "KEY" will start at 0 for each value of pt.
Dimension-
Line 19:     DIMENSION BY ( 0 AS KEY )
               This is necessary for the refrences max_key[0], and min_key[0] to work.
Measures-
Line 21:      0 AS m_1
               A space holder for new values.
Line 22:     TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, 1, INSTR(pt, ':') - 1)) AS min_key
               The result is '1' for '1:5'.
Line 23:     TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(pt, INSTR(pt, ':') + 1)) AS max_key
               The result is '5' for '1:5'.
Rules-
Line 26:     UPSERT
               This makes it possible for new rows to be created.
Line 27:     ITERATE (100000) UNTIL ( ITERATION_NUMBER = max_key[0] - min_key[0] )
               This reads ITERATE 100000 times or UNTIL the ITERATION_NUMBER = max_key[0] - min_key[0]
               which would be 4 for '1:5', but since the ITERATION_NUMBER starts at 0, whatever follows
               is repaeted 5 times.
Line 29:     m_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] = min_key[0] + ITERATION_NUMBER
               m_1[ITERATION_NUMBER] means m_1[Value of Dimension KEY].
               Thus for each row of KEY the m_1 is min_key[0] + ITERATION_NUMBER.

Of course, you can accomplish the same thing without MODEL using an Integer Series Generator like this.
create table t ( min_val number, max_val number, increment_size number );
insert into t values ( 2, 3, 0.1 );
insert into t values ( 1.02, 1.08, 0.02 );
commit;
create table integer_table as
select rownum - 1 as n from all_objects where rownum <= 100 ;
select
min_val ,
increment_size ,
min_val + (increment_size * n) as val
from t, integer_table
where
n between 0 and ((max_val - min_val)/increment_size)
order by 3
   MIN_VAL INCREMENT_SIZE        VAL
      1.02            .02       1.02

Need help with SQL for Pie Chart

I am trying to create a pie charge which would have 3 slices.
Following sql gives me the expected values when I run the sql command:
select
round(avg(CATEGORY_1 + CATEGORY_2 + CATEGORY_3 + CATEGORY_4 + CATEGORY_5),0) "OD Engagements",
round(avg(CATEGORY_6 + CATEGORY_7 + CATEGORY_13),0) "Talent Engagements",
round(avg(CATEGORY_8 + CATEGORY_9 + CATEGORY_10 + CATEGORY_11 + CATEGORY_12),0) "Other Engagements"
from OTD_PROJECT
where STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
I get 3 columns labeled: OD Engagements, Talent Engagements and Other Engagements with the correct averages based on the the data.
I have tried several ways to try to get this to work in the SQL for a pie chart, but keep getting the invalid sql message and it won't save. I also tried saving without validation, but no data is shown on the chart at all.
I want to have a pie, with 3 slices, one labeled OD Engagements with a value of 27, one labeled Talent Engagements with a value of 43 and one labeled Other Engagements with a value of 30. Then I want to be able to click on each pie slice to drill down to a secondary pie chart that shows the breakdown based on the categories included in that type.
Since I am not grouping based on an existing field I an unsure what the link and label values should be in the chart sql.

You'll need something like the below. I have no idea what the URL for the drilldown needs to be. It should create an appropriate link in your app for the particular slice. Mainly the code below breaks the SQL results into three rows rather than three columns. It may well have a syntax error since I can't test.
select linkval AS LINK,
       title    AS LABEL,
       calc_val AS VALUE
FROM   (SELECT 'OD Engagements' AS title,
               round(avg(CATEGORY_1 + CATEGORY_2 + CATEGORY_3 + CATEGORY_4 + CATEGORY_5),0) AS calc_val,
               'f?p=???:???:' || v('APP_SESSION') || '::NO:?' AS LINKVAL
        from   OTD_PROJECT
        where STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'Talent Engagements' AS title,
               round(avg(CATEGORY_6 + CATEGORY_7 + CATEGORY_13),0) AS calc_val,
               'f?p=???:???:' || v('APP_SESSION') || '::NO:?' AS LINKVAL
        from   OTD_PROJECT
        where STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'Other Engagements' AS title,
               round(avg(CATEGORY_8 + CATEGORY_9 + CATEGORY_10 + CATEGORY_11 + CATEGORY_12),0) AS calc_val,
               'f?p=???:???:' || v('APP_SESSION') || '::NO:?' AS LINKVAL
        from   OTD_PROJECT
        where STATUS in ('Open','Hold')
       );

Help with SQL Date

Hi
How can I convert a string in 'YYYYMMDD' format to SQL date (in the format 'YYYYMMDD' and also 'YYYYMMDD HH24:MI:SS) to use in my SQL-query (for Oracle Database)
Thanks for your help

Hi
How can I convert a string in 'YYYYMMDD' format to
SQL date (in the format 'YYYYMMDD' and also 'YYYYMMDD
HH24:MI:SS) to use in my SQL-query (for Oracle
Database)
Thanks for your help
Praveen PadalaI've done quite a few dates from Java to an Oracle DB. I like to use the SimpleDateFormat class in the java.text packadge.
import java.text.*; //Use this import
//In your class
SimpleDateFormat myDateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy", new Locale("en","US"));
//The .format method returns a string. With this format string it can be included in an SQL command
myDateFormatter.format(myDate);
You can also use a SimpleDateFormat object with the format of your other dates to get a Date object that can be given to the SimpleDateFormat object set up to format in Oracle compatable form.
myDate is an object of type Date.
Hope this helps!

Help with SQL query invloving time operations

I have created 2 tables in my SQL. One is the user_info table which stores the time of login and timezone of login for each user. The other is the post_table which stores the postid, user who makes the post, time of post and timezone for each posts.
CREATE TABLE user_info
user_id VARCHAR(20),
login_date DATE,
login_time_zone VARCHAR(20),
PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
CREATE TABLE post_table
post_id VARCHAR(20),
user_id VARCHAR(20),
datepost DATE,
time_zone VARCHAR(20),
PRIMARY KEY (post_id),
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES user_info(user_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
) ;Some sample data for my tables is as below -
INSERT INTO user_info VALUES( 'u1', to_date('9/17/2009 20:00','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), -2 );
INSERT INTO user_info VALUES( 'u2', to_date('9/17/2009 19:55','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), -4 );
INSERT INTO post_table VALUES( 'p1', 'u1', to_date('9/17/2009 20:50','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), 6 );
INSERT INTO post_table VALUES( 'p2', 'u2', to_date('9/17/2009 20:30','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), -5 );
INSERT INTO post_table VALUES( 'p3', 'u2', to_date('9/18/2009 6:00','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), 2 );
INSERT INTO post_table VALUES( 'p4', 'u1', to_date('9/17/2009 21:00','MM/DD/YYYY mi:ss'), -3 );I need to write an SQL query which - finds the user(s) whose time difference between the login time and the latest time when he/she writes a post is the smallest. I need to consider the timezones here as well.
I am unsure if time_zone should be of type VARCHAR or TIMESTAMP so have created it as VARCHAR in my tables.
Someone please help me form this query.
PS : How do I user <code> tags in this forum to write sql statements.

Help with sql loader charsets

I was wondering if anyone could assist me with a sql loader question. I am trying to use it to load some hungarian data. It always turns the Ő character into an upside down question mark. I understand that it is because the database doesn't understand what that character is. Can someone help me find out how to resolve that? The database is UTF-8. If I paste the character in to the application, it takes it. I have tried all kinds of values for the CHARSET parameter in the .ctl file, but nothing seems to work....

I believe we are using iso 8859-1.
I am having a difficult time thinking that it could be we don't have the appropriate installations - because if we paste it in via the oracle application we can see it in a form. If we sql load that same character and look at it in an oracle form, we see the question marks.
i've looked at many of the documents on tahiti already, and found some helpful stuff, but no explanation for the problem i am having so far :)

Need help with SQL*PLUS!

I have just downloaded Oracle SQL*PLUS 9.2.0.1.0, but I am not able to use it because I do not know the "password", "user name" and "host string". Can anybody please help me with this.
Thanks in advance,
Flo

The username & password are your database username & password. If you don't know these, you'll have to contact your DBA to find out.
The host string is the alias you used when you configured TNS on your machine. Most commonly, this is done by editing the tnsnames.ora file or by using Net8 Easy Config.
