How to select first several records from a database table by using select?

Hi,
I want to select first 100 records from a database table by using select clause. How to write it?
Thanks a lot!

hai long!
             well select statement is used to retrive
records from the database.
following is the syntax to be used.
1) select * into corresponding fields of itab from basetable where condition.
endselect.
ex: select * into corresponding fields of itab from mara
            where matnr >= '1' and matnr <= '100'.
       append itab.
      endselect.
select * is a loop statement.it will execute till matnr is less than or equal to 100.
note: you can also mention the required field names in the select statement otherwise it will select all the field from table mara.
note: itab means your internal table name.
hope you got the required thing.if it really solved u r problem then award me the suitable points.<b></b>

Selecting the last record from a database table

In my ABAP Program, I have to use a select statement to retrieve the last record from the database table with the same key. In other words, the Program will get more than one hit on the database table for the selected keys and I need to retrieve values from only the last record and not the first. I know I can use an internal table to sort the records first and then retrieve the right value.   But to make things easier, is there a SELECT statement keyword than I can use to do this in one single step? Thanks!

hi,
tables:mara.
    data: begin of it_mara occurs 0,
            matnr like mara-matnr,
            meins like mara-meins,
            mtart like mara-mtart,
            end of it_mara.
select-options:s_matnr for mara-matnr.
select matnr
          meins
          mtart
from mara
into table it_mara
where matnr in s_matnr.
if not it_mara[] is initial.
sort it_mara by matnr descending.
read table it_mara index 1.
endif.
then you get the last record of the select statement.

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the rows? Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the records?
Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available
Generating XML Data from the Database
Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.
You can also find some information in XML DB FAQ

You could always analyze the tables:
declare
begin
for X in (select owner, table_name from all_tables
             minus
            select owner, table_name from all_external_tables) LOOP
      dbms_stats.Gather_Table_Stats(X.Owner, X.Table_Name) ;
end loop;
end;
/Then: Select Owner, Table_Name, Num_Rows from All_Tables ;

How to delete the child record from the database

how to delete a parent and child record from the database can we do it in the servlet and my database is oracle

I'm not sure I understand the question but you could certainly use the JDBC API from within your servlet to access and modify a DB. You could also use an EJB layer to access your DB and accomplish the same tasks.

How to retrieve a statistic sample from a database table

Hi experts,
Let's say I have a 100.000 rows table and I want to take a representative statistical sample from that table.
Say, it should be 5% (or 5000 rows).
Question is: How to ensure that the sample is representative?
This is not guaranteed by UP TO N ROWS because the database selects without having an order by or WHERE starting reading the first db blocks until it reaches the limit of 5000 rows.
SELECT * UP TO 5000 rows into table .... from ZSAMPLE.
This means I miss mostly of the records in the table, hence the sample is not representative.
Do you ever encounter such a problem?

You could SELECT (with package size if desired) into an internal table. Then:
Select * from table into internal table........
package size 10000. "not really necessary for 100000 row table
*Initialize a counter of type i.
lv_counter = 0.
loop at the internal table.
lv_counter = lv_counter + 1.
   if lv_counter lt 20. "1 in 20 = 5%
     delete internal table. "drop this row.
   elseif lv_counter eq 20.
     lv_counter = 0.
endif.
endloop.
endselect. "if you used package size.
at the end you would have kept every 1 out of every 20 records from your original table select. Be sure to use a package size (if needed ) that is an exact multiple of 20. To futher randomize the table, you could sort on some field that has random values, etc. before doing the every 20th record retention.

How to delete the matching records from two internal tables

Hi ,
I have two internal tables say A and B of the same type. If A has 10 records and B has 4 records , I want to delete the 4 records in B from A .
loop at B into wa .
delete A where key = wa - key .
endloop.
takes a long time if the table B is huge. how can I improve the performance.
Thanks.
Gayathri

Hi Gayathri,
You could try field-symbols. It reduces the data transfer from the internal table B to the work area.
field-symbols <fs_itab_b> like line of B.
loop at B assigning <fs_itab_b>.
delete A where key = <fs_itab_b>?-key.
endloop.

I think most of us would process this report using pl/sql:
- read the file until you've read the column headers
- read the account info and insert the data in the table until you have read the last account info line
- read the file until you've read a new set of column headers (page 2)
- read the account info and insert the data in the table until you have read the last account info line (page 2)
- etc. until you reach the total block idenfitied by Count On-line ...
- read the totals and compare them with the data inserted in the tableOr maybe like this...
First create an external table to read the report as whole lines...

How to get the last record from the database

I am using MS Access database and Swings as GUI. I want to get the last record of a particular column from the table and store it as a varaible.

Hi
To get Last record of resultset, you have pass some parameter in constructor of CreateStatement.In such case Resultset should be scrollable and Readonly
Example
objStatement=objCon.createStatement ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
mwwResultSet=cwwStatement.executeQuery(mwwSqlQuery);
while(mwwResultSet.next())
if(mwwResultSet.isLast())
//Fetch the required column record.
String abc=mwwResultSet.getString(1);
I think this will work. Try it.
bye
