How to enforce unique records in a Qualified Table

Our main table is Customers. We have a qualified table that stores Company Code information. We need to ensure that each customer in the main table has only one record per company code in the Company Code qualifeid table.
Company ABC can be linked to Company Code 1, Company Code 2, Company 3 (three records in the Company Code qualified table)
Company ABC cannot be linked to Company Code 1, Company Code 2, Company 2 (three records in the Company Code qualified table where two are duplicates)
Company code is a the only Non-Qualifer field in the Company Code qualifeid table. I have set field a Unique in the console but i can still add duplicate records.

Hi Tammi,
Don't expect to get many answers from this forum, which is Business Process Expert General.
Your question sounds more like an ABAP problem. Actually, it seems to have nothing to do with SAP; it really sounds more like a general programming problem.
You will probably have better luck in one of the ABAP forums, maybe

Good Luck,

Tammi,
Choosing Qualified table is wise option, when we really want to maintain possible duplicate data!
otherwise Normal Lookup table would be ideal option.
befor we proceed further, cud u pls explain me the unique factor to choose qualified in ur Business requirement?
thanks

How to enforce uniqueness to my database table

Hello
One of my database will be updated based on two columns c1 and c2.
Previous i created an index on these two columns. But forgot to enforce uniqueness. Now my table has some duplicate data.Means columns c1 and c2 contained same value for more than one record. Now i deleted all the duplicate data. And i also want to allow any duplicate data into my table in future. While i was creating an unique index on these two columns it is not allowing and prompting errors. Can someone guide me how to enforce uniqueness for my table

And i also want to allow any
duplicate data into my table in future.
Can someone guide
me how to enforce uniqueness for my tableSo you want to enforce uniqueness or not?
Look at alter table add constraint clause in sql reference manual.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/clauses002.htm#g1053592
In case you have duplicate values you can
"ENABLE NOVALIDATE ensures that all new DML operations on the constrained data comply with the constraint. This clause does not ensure that existing data in the table complies with the constraint and therefore does not require a table lock."

How to create a unique group field in Qualifier table

Hi,
I am trying to use a qualified table in Product maintable like "Site items".
However I would like to have two non-qual field in that like 'Plant' and 'item#' which should be an unique combination.
I have tried to create a table(X) with the above two fields with display and another table (Y)that uses the table X for lookup (site-item) so as to make it dispaly and unique both. However when i am using this Y table as a lookup for the qualified table(site items) , not able to load data.
Error message:
"Import failed. Unable to find source column index for 'Site Item ID' field"
Another issue also not able to populate data for the qualified flds even if when able to load data without making a group unique field for this qualified table.
In MDM 5.5 sp4. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi Beena,
In the above post of mine I suggested you to use STRING data type.
As you are telling that when creating TABLE MAINTANENCE GENERATOR you are
getting an error saying that " Datatype STRING is not supported ". I tried this, what you said is right.
After your reply I did research on this and I also met my heads,
The conclusion is <b>IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GENERATE TABLE MAINTANENCE</b> for the table which is using STRING type. At last I can give you one suggestion, i.e., In the short text of that field write STANDARD TEXT name.So that whenever you want, go to this standard text, but the problem is you have to maintain it manually.

I want to process each row from the CTE table I created, how can I traverse from first row to second row and so on....
how to process each records in the derived table which i created using cte table using sql server

Ideally you would be doing a set based processing rather than traversing row by row as thats more efficient. To answer it specific to your scenario we may need more info. Can you explain with some sample data your exact requirement?

Help needed to get unique record from an internal table

Hi Everybody,
I have to get unique record from an internal table. i know we can use read statement with key condition .
But the problem is i have to use some relational operators like GE or LE.
eg
read table itab into wa with key width GE itab-widthfrom
                                                   width LE itab-widthto
                                                   machno eq itab-machno.
Its giving me error when I use the operators GE , LE.( I think since it can't find a unique record with those relational
operators in the with key statement)
Is there any other way to get unique record from internal table without using the loop?
Thanks,
Sunny

Using the read statement you will need some kind of loop. For example.
DO.
READ TABLE......
WITH KEY ......
                    READ = SPACE
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0
TABLE-READ = 'X'.
MODIFY TABLE
ADD 1 TO W_FOUND.
ELSE
EXIT.
ENDIF
ENDDO.
IF W_FOUND EQ 1.
...record is unique.
ENDIF.

There are 4 millions records in it and many with the same combination of POGName,Index#Version,POG_Model_Status,POG_Layout_Type,POG_Market_Specific, POG_Contact_Number and Fixture_Name. How do I retrive records with all the columns above but with unique fixture_name and reorder_number combination. There are no keys defined on the table.
I guess this is a simple problem but the fact that I am trying to retrieve all the columns is stumbling me.
Thanks in advance.

How do I retrive records with all the columns above but with unique fixture_name and reorder_number combination. I don't see a column called reorder_number. Do you mean fixture_reorder_number or part_reorder_number_9?
So you want only one row for each distinct combination of fixture_name and some other column (I'll assume that's fixture_reorder_number). Does it matter which row? They won't necessarily have the same values for the other columns.
The query below returns the one with the first pogname (in sort order):
WITH     got_r_num     AS
     SELECT pogname, index#version, pog_model_status, pog_layout_type
     ,     pog_market_specific, pog_contact_number, fixture_name
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY fixture_name
                               ,                    fixture_reorder_number
                         ORDER BY        pogname
                       )         AS r_num
     FROM    sps_prod
SELECT pogname, index#version, pog_model_status, pog_layout_type
,     pog_market_specific, pog_contact_number, fixture_name
FROM     got_r_num
WHERE     r_num     = 1
;If there happens to be a tie (that is, two or more rows with the same fixture_name, fixture_number, and first pogname) then one of the will be chosen arbitrarily.
Instead of "ORDER BY pogname", you can ORDER BY any other columns or expressions, but you must have an analytic ORDER BY clause. You can make it "ORDER BY NULL" if you really want to pcik an arbitrary row.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data (or a couple of examples of acceptable results).
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

How to restrict the records in source qualifier?

What is your source system?If it's Oracle, you could use the following trick:Wrap your original SQL query (which retrieves all the columns which you need plus "ROWNUM AS row_num") into a "common table expression" which returns records based on this "row_num", like this: SELECT a1, a2, a3,... an FROM(select *, rownum as row_num FROM tab1, tab2 WHERE...)WHERE row_num between 11 and 15 Other than that I would recommend you insert an Expression transformation into your mapping right after the Source Qualifier. Within this EXP, define a variable port "v_rownum" of type BigInt with this expression: v_rownum + 1Then define an output port ROWNUM of type BigInt and set it to this expression: v_rownumForward all the data from the SQ plus "ROWNUM" from the EXP into a Filter.Define two mapping parameters $$FIRST_ROW and $$LAST_ROW of type BigInt (if possible, I can't try myself at this moment).Set the Filter expression like this: ROWNUM >= $$FIRST_ROW AND ROWNUM <= $$LAST_ROW This works for all sorts of source systems.

Creates new record in the Qualifier Table while importing.

Hi Guys,
When sending new bank details to MDM, then MDM creates a new record in the Bank Detail qualified lookup table. This is OK. But when sending exactly same bank details again to MDM, then MDM creates again a new record in the Bank Detail qualified lookup table. I would expect that it
first performs the Automap and only if it cannot find a value, it will add a new record!
Can you guys help me out from this?
Best Regards
Devaraj PK

Hi Devaraj,
Please check these configuration options of Import Manager
1. Default Qualified Update - The default setting for whether incoming source subrecords either are appended to, completely replace,or update the set of existing qualified links of a qualified lookup field when updating existing records.
2. Default Matching Qualifiers - The default setting for which qualifiers to use as matching qualifiers when matching existing qualified links when updating existing records.
Any operation on the qualified tables will depend on the above two options.

Extracting unique records from two different tables record

Hello,
In the following code of two different tables www.testing.com exists in both tables. I want to compare two different columns of the two different tables to get unique records.
SQL> select unique(videoLinks) from saVideos where sa_id=21;
VIDEOLINKS
www.testing.com
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1* select unique(picLinks) from saImages where sa_id=21
SQL> /
PICLINKS
test
test14
www.hello.com
www.testing.comThanks & best regards

Unfortunatly you didn't mention the expected output. I guess it would be the one line
"www.testing.com"
in that case simply join the two tables.
select *
from saVideos v
join saImages i on i.sa_id = v.sa_id and i.picLinks = v.videoLinks
where v.sa_id=21;If needed then you could change the select list to retrieve only distinct values.
select unique v.sa_id, v.videolinks
from saVideos v
join saImages i on i.sa_id = v.sa_id and i.picLinks = v.videoLinks
where v.sa_id=21;I usually avoid distinct/unique whereever possible. This requires the database to do a sort and makes the query slow.

You have a table
   CREATE TABLE tab (
      col1 NUMBER,
      col2 NUMBER,
      col3 NUMBER,
      col4 NUMBER
      col5 NUMBER)Now you insert:
   INSERT INTO tab (col2, col4) VALUES (5, 7);col1, col3 and col5 are NULL by default (there is no DEFAULT clause for these columns so they are NULL).
