How to compare record count of two tables?

Hi,
i am in need of simple sql script where i can compare two table record count.
i have something like below:
(select count(*) from table1) minus (select count(*) from table2)
now the problem is if the table1 count greater then table2 count the output is fine.
If the table2 record count is more then i am getting zero as the output.
how can i get the difference in two tables record count?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Doing a MINUS between the counts does not yield the diff.
e.g. if table A has 100 records and table B has 70 records then,
SELECT count(*) FROM A
minus
SELECT count(*) from B
will give 100 and not 30.
Try this:
SELECT (
CASE WHEN ((select count(*) cnt from A) - (select count(*) cnt from B)) <0
THEN ((select count(*) cnt from A) - (select count(*) cnt from B))* -1
ELSE ((select count(*) cnt from A) - (select count(*) cnt from B)) END) Difference
FROM dualor this is simpler
SELECT abs(((select count(*) cnt from A) - (select count(*) cnt from B))) difference FROM dualEdited by: Caitanya on Jan 9, 2009 7:12 AM
Applied abs function after seeing BluShadow's post :)

How to compare records in singe internal table

Hi Folks,
iam having 3 records in my first itab( T_FINAL) with fields
material no, descrip , mat type and group.
and 16 records in second itab(T_MVKE ) with fields
mat no , distri.chanel and division
now I want to fetch the records from T_MVKE by comparing the records in
T_FINAL .my requirement is to check the given mat no. in sales org.2000,2100. if yes then i have to consider 2000 only, if it is in only 2100 then consider 2100 only . is it is in 2000 only then consider 2100 only
my code is
LOOP AT T_FINAL.
    READ TABLE T_MVKE WITH KEY MATNR = T_FINAL-MATNR.
   IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
   ON CHANGE OF T_MVKE-MATNR OR T_MVKE-VKORG.
IF T_MVKE-VKORG = '2000' and SY-TABIX > 1.
      CONCATENATE '2000' 'TS' P_WERKS T_FINAL-MATNR INTO KEY.
ELSEIF T_MVKE-VKORG = '2000' AND SY-TABIX = 1.
     CONCATENATE '2000' 'TS' P_WERKS T_FINAL-MATNR INTO KEY.
ELSE.
    CONCATENATE '2100' 'TS' P_WERKS T_FINAL-MATNR INTO KEY.
    ENDIF.
this logic fails ,. could tell me how to compare values in single itab?
Thanks

Hi ,
if i've understand you correctly , try that:
LOOP AT t_final.
AT NEW matnr.
    CLEAR: v_2000, v_2100.
*1) 2000
    READ TABLE t_mvke    WITH KEY matnr = t_final-matnr
                                   vkorg = 2000.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      v_2000 = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
*2) 2100
    READ TABLE t_mvke    WITH KEY matnr = t_final-matnr
                                   vkorg = 2100.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      v_2100 = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
*compare
    IF v_2000 = 'X' AND v_2100 = 'X'.

File to Jdbc: how to get record count from DB table

Hello,
i have a scenario file to JDBC....ihave to insert input file data to DB table.
now my requirement is ..if i insert a file with 50 records to db table on first time, and then next time if i insert the file with 100 records to db table....the count should start from 51 in db table.
if i insert another file 3rd time, with 25 records, the count shold start from 151...so how can i achieve this functionality....
i think following options:
1. in mapping write lookup to call JDBC sender channel and fetch count and map same to target filed of DB. if this is ok...please provide UDF code..2. db triggers (not suitable for my req.)
So kindly let meknow possible solutions and required UDF codes..please
Thanks in advance...SARAN

>>>..if i insert a file with 50 records to db table on first time, and then next time if i insert the file with 100 records to db table....the count should start from 51 in db table.

i think following options:
Suggestions:
1)Create an id column in db table. Talk to DB guy to create oracle sequencer for that column. So, every time you insert record that field will be updated with oracle sequencer. You dont need to handle this.
Refer this link
http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/sequences.php
2) If you want to handle via pi, following suggestions..
If you use PI 7.1 or above, use jdbc lookup in the mapping and do the query something like this
Refer this link
/people/jin.shin/blog/2008/02/15/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-graphical-support-for-jdbc-and-rfc-lookups
Do select query as below
select count(*) from tablename;
the above query will return number of rows exist in the table. So use that value and map it in the target field.
If you use pi 7.0 or below then use the previous reply and do the UDF implementation for jdbc lookup during mapping. Because jdbc lookup does not support in those versions.
Hope that helps.

How to compare records in the same table?

I have a table of course registrations. I would like to select course registrations as of a certain date that do not have a dropped status against it.
CREATE TABLE REGISTRATIONS
(ID VARCHAR(7) ,
COURSE VARCHAR(4),
CURRENT_STATUS VARCHAR(10),
STATUS_DATE VARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO REGISTRATIONS
(ID, COURSE, CURRENT_STATUS, STATUS_DATE)
VALUES
('1111111','ADMN', 'REGISTERED', '2014-04-10'),
('1111111','MATH', 'REGISTERED', '2014-04-10'),
('1111111','ADMN', 'DROPPED', '2014-04-10'),
('1111111','MATH', 'DROPPED', '2014-04-12'),
('1111111','BIOL', 'REGISTERED', '2014-04-10')
SELECT * FROM REGISTRATIONS
ORDER BY COURSE, CURRENT_STATUS
drop table REGISTRATIONS
ID COURSE CURRENT_STATUS STATUS_DATE
1111111 ADMN DROPPED 2014-04-10
1111111 ADMN REGISTERED 2014-04-10
1111111 BIOL REGISTERED 2014-04-10
1111111 MATH DROPPED 2014-04-12
1111111 MATH REGISTERED 2014-04-10
The above example shows that ID '1111111' has registered for ADMN and BIOL on April 10th but dropped ADMN the same day. It also shows that they registered for MATH on April 10th but dropped it on the 12th.
If I were to select course registrations to date as of April 10 I would see both ADMN records, BIOL and MATH. BIOL and MATH would be OK but I don't want to see the ADMN data in the result because they have essentially cancelled themselves out.
In saying that, how do I write a script to select all course registrations as of a certain date but omit the ones that have been dropped at anytime before the select date?

check below,
SELECT * FROM REGISTRATIONS a
WHERE CURRENT_STATUS <> 'DROPPED' AND STATUS_DATE <= '2014-04-12'
AND COURSE NOT IN (
SELECT COURSE FROM REGISTRATIONS
WHERE CURRENT_STATUS = 'DROPPED' AND STATUS_DATE <= '2014-04-12')
ORDER BY a.COURSE, a.CURRENT_STATUS

Get records count of all tables

Hi ,
I am trying to get the record count of all tables using dynamic query. I don't know how to put the value in placeholder. I tried the below code.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000
DECLARE
     CURSOR table_list
     IS
     select OBJECT_NAME from user_objects
     where object_type in ('TABLE')
     and object_name not like '%AUDIT_DDL%'
     AND object_name not like 'MD_%'
     AND object_name not like 'EXT_%'
     AND object_name not like 'STG_%'
     AND object_name not like 'SYS_%'
     AND object_name not like 'TMP_%'
     AND object_name not like 'TEMP_%'
     order by 1;
     v_count     NUMBER :=0;
     query_str VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
     FOR table_name IN table_list
     LOOP
          query_str :='SELECT COUNT(1) FROM ' || table_name.OBJECT_NAME;
dbms_output.put_line(query_str);
          dbms_output.put_line('Table Name:' || table_name.OBJECT_NAME );
          v_count:= execute immediate query_str;
          dbms_output.put_line('Table Name:' || table_name.OBJECT_NAME || ', Count ' || v_count );
     END LOOP;
END;
I know I am doing wrong in the bold lines. But not sure how to fix it. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
What you posted is basically right, assuming you really want to do dynamic SQL t all.
The only problem with
961618 wrote:
          query_str :='SELECT COUNT(1) FROM ' || table_name.OBJECT_NAME; would be if the object name included special characters (such as single-quotes) or lower-case letters. To avoid any possible problems, I would put the object name inside double-quotes:
...     query_str := 'SELECT COUNT (*) FROM "' || table_name.OBJECT_NAME
                                           || '"';
          v_count:= execute immediate query_str;
The correct syntax is
execute immediate query_str INTO v_count;V_count will be the number of rows in a single table. Keep another variable (say total_v_count) that keeps the total count so far.
Do you really need dynamic SQL?
SELECT     SUM (num_rows)     AS total_rows
FROM     user_tables
WHERE     table_name     NOT_LIKE '%AUDIT_DDL%
AND     ...
;gets the same information, accurate as of the last time statistics were gathered, and some of the numbers may be approximate. Depending on how you use the results, that may be good enough for you. If you actually have 10,000,123 rows, and the query says you have 10,000,000, does it really matter?

How to delete records from dynamic internal table.

Hi Experts,
Need urgent help!!!
Issue is with Dynamic internal tables.
Below is code written by me :
FORM select_query USING Lw_tabnam
                  TYPE t682i-kotabnr.
DATA : lw_line TYPE REF TO data,
          lw_line1 TYPE REF TO data.
    CREATE DATA Lw_line    TYPE (lw_TABNAM).
    ASSIGN      Lw_line->* TO   <WA_tbl>.
    CREATE DATA LW_LINE    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (Lw_tabnam)
                           WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY.
    ASSIGN      Lw_line->* TO <TBL>.
    SELECT * FROM (Lw_tabnam)
             INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <TBL>
             WHERE (t_keys).
Endform.
code is working fine.
here even the table name and where condition are dynamic,everything is fine upto this point.
Now i have to delete some record from <TBL> based on some conditons.
     for ex : ( here lc_fieldname is KUNNR)
      loop at t_kunnr.
          lw_tabix = sy-tabix.
        Read table <tbl>
                with key (lc_fieldname) = t_kunnr-kunnr ASSIGNING <wa_tbl>.
        If sy-subrc = 0.
        *Delete
        delete <tbl> from <wa_tbl>
delete <tbl> index lw_tabix.
        Endif.
     Endloop.
The above delete statement doesn't work ,even we can't use index as it gives a syntax error " something related to "index is not allowed in standard table or hash table.
Can you help me ab't how to delete records in Dynamic internal table?
Other option that i am thinking of is to create a static table of type dynamic table.
means, data itab type standard table of <tbl> .I know the syntax is wrong ,however is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance ,
If you have any suggestion ab't this then do let me know.
bye,
Gaurav.

How to search records in a standard table with * ?

Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me how to search records in a standard table with * ?
That is, in screen if user type * abc * for searching the records in which the field MC_STEXT contains 'abc'. What the code should be? How to complete the code below?
SELECT SINGLE objid FROM p1000 INTO p1000-objid,
WHERE MC_STEXT = ? .
Thanks!

Hi
There are several way to do that, probably just as some guys wrote the easier way is to use LIKE in WHERE condition and the sign % instead of *:
V_STRING = '%ABC%'.
SELECT SINGLE objid FROM p1000 INTO p1000-objid,
WHERE MC_STEXT LIKE V_STRING.
U can also use a range (just like select-options):
RANGES: R_MC FOR P1000-MC_STEXT.
R_MC-LOW = 'ABC'.
R_MC(3) = 'ICP'.
APPEND R_MC.
SELECT SINGLE objid FROM p1000 INTO p1000-objid,
WHERE MC_STEXT IN R_MC.

Generate delta records by comparing multiple fields from two tables?

I have two tables with similar fields. Let's say Table 1 (T1) has fields Customer, A, B and C. Table 2 (T2) has fields Customer0002, A0002, B0002 and C0002. For each customer (each record) I want to check whether there is any difference in field A and A0002 or B and B0002 or C and C0002. If there is a difference between any of these pairs of fields then I will update that customer's record. Currently I have a piece of code
   DATA: ls_source TYPE y_source_fields,
        ls_target TYPE y_target_fields.
LOOP AT it_source INTO ls_source.
    if not ( ls_source-A = ls_source-A0002 ).
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_source TO ls_target.
      APPEND ls_target TO et_target.
    endif.
ENDLOOP.
This checks for the difference between one pair - A and A0002. How can I make it check 3 pairs and update when any of them have differences?

Hello Khaled
Why don't you add B and B0002 - C and C0002 fields into your if declaration?
LOOP AT it_source INTO ls_source.
    if not (
ls_source-A = ls_source-A0002 and
ls_source-B = ls_source-B0002 and
ls_source-C = ls_source-C0002
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_source TO ls_target.
      APPEND ls_target TO et_target.
    endif.
ENDLOOP.
I think you have more than 3 fields and the count of these fields are dynamic right?
Do you about the ASSIGN COMPONENT x OF STRUCTURE y TO <field_symbol>. usage?
Can you explain your need in detail please.

How to avoid Duplicate Records while joining two tables

Hi,
I am trying to join three tables, basically two tables are same one is like history table, so I wrote a query like
select
e.id,
e.seqNo,
e.name,
d.resDate,
d.details
from employees e,
((select * from dept)union(select * from dept_hist)) d
join on d.id=e.id and e.seqno=d.seqno
but this returing duplicate records.
Could anyone please tell me how to avoid duplicate records of this query.

Actually it is like if the record is processed it will be moved to hist table, so both table will not have same records and I need the record from both the tables so i have done the union of both the tables, so d will have the union of both records.
But I am getting duplicate records if even I am distinct.

How to Compare Data length of staging table with base table definition

Hi,
I've two tables :staging table and base table.
I'm getting data from flatfiles into staging table, as per requirement structure of staging table and base table(length of each and every column in staging table is 25% more to dump data without any errors) are different for ex :if we've city column with varchar length 40 in staging table it has 25 in base table.Once data is dumped into staging table I want to compare actual data length of each and every column in staging table with definition of base table(data_length for each and every column from all_tab_columns) and if any column differs length I need to update the corresponding row in staging table which also has a flag called err_length.
so for this I'm using cursor c1 is select length(a.id),length(a.name)... from staging_table;
cursor c2(name varchar2) is select data_length from all_tab_columns where table_name='BASE_TABLE' and column_name=name;
But we're getting data atonce in first query whereas in second cursor I need to get each and every column and then compare with first ?
Can anyone tell me how to get desired results?
Thanks,
Mahender.

This assumes the column names are the same between the staging and base tables. In addition as you add more columns to this table you'll have to add more CASE statements to check the length and update the COALESCE check as necessary.
Thanks!
